Album Notes: Different Light is the second studio album by the Bangles. The album’s Top 40 sound was a departure from their earlier 1960s-style rock’n’roll sound. It is their most successful album, reaching number two on the Billboard 200 and producing five charting singles, including the Billboard top two hits “Manic Monday” and “Walk Like an Egyptian”. It is also the first album in which bassist Michael Steele sings lead vocals on some tracks.
